Laid out on the felt... He was called, he served, he was counted...

The Pogues - Body of an American

Nice call on the Bill Fay and TVZ tunes... A close second would be, "I Hope That it Rains at my Funeral" by Tom T. Hall

I imagine LSURoss will be in charge of the soundtrack for my funeral, but here are a few must-haves.

Keg On My Coffin--Chris Trapper

Keep Me In Your Heart For a While--Warren Zevon

You've Been A Friend To Me--The Carter Family

Graceland--Paul Simon

Stella Blue--Grateful Dead (Even though the Willie Nelson version is amazing as well, as is the Steve Kimock version...)

And finally, let's close the service with the legendary profanity-fueled rant by Chicago Cubs' manager Lee Elia in the year of my birth, 1983. I think it's only right that my friends and family remember that I was the kind of person who would intentionally blow-up his own funeral with this kind of nonsense!
